This gentleman was a pleasure to have at my home and I look forward to working with him in the future with any of my plumbing problems thank you Davis Heating and Air and plumbing for sending such a wonderful professional individual to my home. Ryder W thank you for everything that you did you where a God sent individual and so kind.
We had an excellent experience. It’s clear that management has instilled a real sense of ownership and accountability in their employees.

Facing an incoming snowstorm on a Saturday, we had an urgent furnace issue. Wendy answered the call and immediately took charge—she sourced the needed products and coordinated with the team to make sure our furnace was working that very day.

Her actions were a testament to her dedication, her strong relationships with the team, and the leadership culture at the company.
Amazing experience using Davis today! Matthew came out after I had a concern with my thermostat! He checked it and also checked everything else for me as well! Gave me great advice on some things for the future, and answered every single question I had for him (which was a lot haha!) I was given multiple options on how I wanted to proceed with any issues he found. He was very honest and the prices they have are BEYOND fair! Each price I was given included the labor and service call fee and was still very fair! Overall this company turned a stressful time into a stress free time and put my anxiety at ease! Will DEFINITELY recommend to everyone!
We had our sewer line in our basement backed up and tried calling a few different companies to come out and fix it. Being that it was on a Sunday nobody wanted to come out. We ended up getting a hold of Davis who sent out James. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything that he was going to do. He did an amazing job and by the end of the night we were good to go. When James was done he also brought some towels and spray and cleaned up the mess that he made from the job he did. The next day Davis sent over a gentleman by the name of Dakota who ran a camera through our sewer lines. He was there to see why our sewer backed up. He was very professional and very knowledgeable on the job he was there to do. Between James and Dakota it was determined that because of where my house sits at the bottom of two Hills. When it rains we get all the rain water backing up the sewer lines. We ended up needing a check valve installed which meant that a crew needed to come over to our house and cut the concrete in my basement and dig out the stone to get to the sewer line so they could install this check valve. Victor and Hunter showed up and did an amazing job. They were very professional and tried to keep everything clean for us by putting plastic up. Another gentleman by the name of Will came over to give Victor and Hunter help on the job. Between the three of them they were able to get the job done and get it done fast. They brought in a vacuum and vacuum the floor, then they swept the floor, and then they swiffered the basement floor to try to get it as clean as possible. They also wipe down the Walls around the area they were in. From start to finish Davis did an amazing job. If there is any Plumbing work that you need done I would definitely give them a call.
Damien and Jacob installed a new hot water heater and water softener system. They did a GREAT GREAT JOB!! They explained what they were doing in a very understandable way. I really enjoyed talking to them. They were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks!!
Philip arrived right on time(actually a bit earlier)from when he was scheduled. He was very pleasant and polite explaining every step of what he was doing. Instead of an expensive, full blown change out we agreed on an upgrade to satisfy my needs. We discussed if I wanted to make more changes what the next steps and costs would be. I was VERY satisfied with the Service Tech, his work and future suggestions.
Everyone from the sales team to the install crew did a top notch job. Our boiler went out unexpectedly over Christmas, and Mike bent over backwards to help us get warmed up quickly and affordably. The crew showed up promptly, were very polite, and left no evidence of their visit aside from the new boiler- no mess, no damage. Very appreciative of the Davis crew for a job well done.
We greatly appreciate Michael and Jacob doing the plumbing project in our home. We couldn't be more pleased with their very professional work. From the first day to the last day, they were very courtious, took the time to check-in with us, and made our house available each evening before they left so we could take showers and use the bathrooms. They worked quite hard the whole time and kept the project progressing well. The are men of integrity and we felt very comfortable and assured their work behind walls, under counters, and in the ceiling were top quality. We would easily go back to Davis for future projects because of them. We would highly recommend them and Davis Plumbing to anyone needing plumbing work. Thank you Michael and Jacob for a job well done.
Ryder spent over five hours at my elderly parents’ home resolving a sewer backup. My mom is very high-energy and outspoken, and my husband and son stepped in to help navigate the situation while I kept my dad occupied at my house.

Ryder handled everything with extraordinary patience, professionalism, and respect, especially considering all the chaos and personalities involved.

He never rushed, never complained, and delivered truly quality service for my parents. We are so grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him.
Ryan did an outstanding job. He was pleasant and professional. Ryan took the time to explain the problem and how to fix it. His work was amazing and efficient. We will be using Davis again for our future HVAC needs. Thank you for your wonderful work.

Professional Circuit Breaker Installation in Roanoke & Southside VA

When your circuit breaker starts showing signs of age or can’t handle your home’s electrical needs, our team can provide you with an expert circuit breaker replacement in Roanoke, VA. Our electricians remove your old, worn circuit breakers and install new ones that match your home’s specific requirements.

You might need new circuit breakers if your current ones frequently trip, feel hot to the touch, or make buzzing sounds. Older homes often have outdated electrical panels that can’t support modern power demands. If you’ve added major appliances, a home office setup, or plan to install an electric vehicle charging station, your current breakers might not be up to the task.

Our electricians take a detailed approach to circuit breaker installation in Roanoke, VA. We carefully disconnect your power supply, remove the old breaker, check for any wire damage, install the new breaker, and test the system thoroughly before restoring power. We follow strict safety protocols to protect your home and family throughout the process.

Why Circuit Breakers Matter for Your Home’s Safety

Circuit breakers are your home’s electrical safety guards. They monitor the flow of electricity through your electrical wiring and automatically cut power when they detect overloads or short circuits. Without this protection, excessive current could heat your wires to dangerous temperatures, potentially causing fires.

Inside each breaker, a metal strip heats up as current passes through. If too much current flows, this strip bends and triggers the switch to cut power. This simple mechanical process prevents countless electrical fires and keeps your family safe from electrical hazards.

A failing circuit breaker puts your entire home at risk. Without this critical safety feature working properly, overloaded circuits can cause wire insulation to melt, creating fire hazards inside your walls where you can’t see them.

Warning Signs Your Circuit Breaker Needs Attention

Older circuit breakers eventually wear out from years of use, especially in homes with high power demands. The internal components gradually degrade until they can no longer perform their safety functions properly. If your home is over 25 years old and still has the original electrical panel, you’re likely due for an inspection.

Modern construction often includes built-in surge protectors and more advanced electrical safety features that older homes lack. Upgrading your circuit breakers gives you access to these improved safety technologies while potentially improving your home’s accessibility to modern power needs.

Watch for these warning signs that indicate you may need circuit breaker service:

  • Frequent tripping: If your breakers trip regularly, especially when using specific appliances, they might be overloaded or failing.
  • Burning smells: Any burning odor near your electrical panel requires immediate attention from an electrician.
  • Physical damage: Discoloration, scorch marks, or melting on the breaker itself points to dangerous overheating.
  • Buzzing or crackling sounds: Electrical components should operate silently — unusual noises suggest arcing electricity.
  • Warm or hot breakers: While slight warmth is normal during heavy use, hot breakers indicate potential failure.
  • Flickering lights: Inconsistent power to light fixtures often traces back to circuit breaker issues.
  • Age: Circuit breakers older than 20-30 years have higher failure rates and lack modern safety features.

You never want to miss the signs! Call us ASAP if you recognize any of them in your home.

What’s the Difference Between Circuit Breakers and Electrical Panels

Many homeowners use these terms interchangeably, but they’re actually different parts of your electrical system. The electrical panel is the main metal box — sometimes called a breaker box or fuse box — that houses all your circuit breakers. This is where the power from the utility transformer enters your home before being distributed to various circuits.

Circuit breakers are the individual switches inside the panel that control electricity flow to specific areas of your home. Each breaker protects a particular circuit by monitoring current levels and tripping when overloads occur. When you lose power to just your kitchen or just your bedroom, it’s typically because a single circuit breaker has tripped.

Older homes might still have fuse boxes instead of circuit breaker panels. While fuses serve the same basic safety function, they must be replaced after each use, unlike breakers that can be reset. Modern construction exclusively uses circuit breakers because they provide better protection and greater convenience.

Some electrical issues require replacing individual circuit breakers, while others call for upgrading the entire panel. Our electricians can determine exactly what your situation needs and provide the right solution for your Virginia home.
